TAKING MTV VERY UNSERIOUSLY

Due to the REWIND crew spending the week in NYC for a “work trip”, the studio is empty this week so we are throwing it back to our old set once again! This week on REWIND: The Podcast, we’re diving back into the golden era of MTV—the network that raised us in the 2000s! From messy drama to pop culture-defining moments, MTV reality shows were so unserious, and we’re fighting about which shows belong in a top tier ranking and which ones were truly wildin’ out. The catch? We have to agree before we define a show’s category! Will My Super Sweet 16 go first? Did we actually love NEXT and The Challenge? And what weird story could Blake have kept to himself? Grab your iPod and tune in for another battle of nostalgia!

ABOUT REWIND: The Podcast - Hosted by the effortlessly charismatic duo Raven Dawson and Blake Rackley, REWIND: The Podcast is where pop culture past meets pop culture present—with a whole lot of personality in between. Fueled by a love for iconic throwbacks and today’s most talked-about moments, these two besties serve up unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and a deep appreciation for the drama that keeps entertainment interesting. From Y2K nostalgia to red carpet chaos, award show upsets to reality TV scandals, nothing is off-limits. Whether they’re revisiting the cultural staples that defined an era or breaking down the latest internet-breaking headlines, expect hot takes, deep dives, and plenty of side-eye. If your playlist lives somewhere between classic R&B and current chart-toppers, if you still quote your favorite 2000s movies on the daily, and if you love a little (or a lot of) flair with your pop culture commentary—this is the podcast you’ve been waiting for. Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.
